Very well done man! Best review of the Authority I’ve seen!
Really nice job going quickly over the new reel. Would recommend this channel. :)
Thanks for stopping by!
Great comparison! Precise and direct info, I liked your video!
One of the best descriptions of the new mechanism of a reel
Thanks!
Very logical n informative , i have 4500 one which is close in weight n shape/size to my stella 6000 sw , penn with this authority they could reaily could compete hard with the best there r shimano n daiwa camps . U should have more videos on yt , great review
Rock on tight lines. Love your review.
Love your breakdown! I live out of the country and wanted to pick up a good reel. 2 slammer reels or 1 authority reel. Im going 2 slammers!! Thanks
Gracias por este video .Interesante .muy bien explicado , éxito. Bendiciones. 🎸😇🎼😘⚘️⚘️
I've seen a bunch of reels with crosswind bearing daiwa bg comes to mind even my penn Captiva had one
Awesome video!!
Ordering an 8500hs. These reels definitly have a market. Ill be using it for tuna popping and jigging in the canyons. These shud have no problem holding up to our fishery...and when compared to our other options ($1k++ shimano and daiwas) the price is very affordable.
Absolutely!
I don’t think you can compare this to a japan made shimano or daiwa 😅
Hi. Been waiting anxiously for this evolution.from penn...huge fan...i have the slammer 3 size 6500 was gifted it. Wish i could afford this long awaited dream perhaps even get Santa mite finally convince me thwt he knows me & my wish.😃😅.. God bless America...stay safe . ..tight lines...reel em...Penn i salute yourl & wish yourl continued success. Peace. I'll always be a Penn pal & trusr it in the fight. South African coadt lines...have lot's of preditar species that pack a punch...this reel has the the bigger punch to fight bsck harder & win the fight.
I hope you are having good fishing success down there. Fishing up here in Maryland is really slowing down here. Not to mention health is not so good. I did catch a few nice togs on that beautiful fierce. Hope you great fishing. Thanks chris.
Chris, fishing is slow down here as well. My wife just had twins so we’ve been real busy! Hope your health improves!
Chris, I’ve been super busy (more kids 😂). I hope your health and fishing are doing well. Glad to hear you’re catching fish with that fierce!
I’m so so glad someone is doing tear downs. That’s what I care about, not the looks on the outside. I love my Fierce 3, I used the shit outta that thing bass and saltwater fishing. I will absolutely buy another Penn someday.
Love the video. I understand it also has a bearing on the pinion to stabilize that area as opposed to the Slammer. Also, it looks the Authority now has external seals on the line roller and the slammer does not correct?
Correct!
looks like a great reel
excellent detailed review, and balanced assessment, thanks!
here's a question (bit long, sorry):
context : I have a Slammer III 8500HS and use it to fish the big bluefin tunas we have in Brittany (France). They typically are in the 200-300lb range, but there get bigger sometimes. reels are suject to extreme pressure. my Slammer did not take well the long rushes under 25-30 lb of actual measured drag. first heavyweight fight took out the smooth delivery of line under load, and now it tends to stutter on a fast rush. and there's some gritting feeling when reeling. my friends' Stellas 18 or 20k do not do this. but they cost a fortune. the Authority may be a nice compromise.
question: do you think the Authority will stand this kind of abuse?
Thanks for stopping by! That sounds like some amazing fishing. So the slammers and the authorities use the same drag material. I’d check the condition of your Slammer 3’s drag washers. If they are in bad condition, Penn’s Dura Drag may not be up to the task. If the drag washers are fine, the Penn Authority may be worth the shot. The gears, rotor and pinion pack design is a significant upgrade over the old slammer 3s. The stainless steel gears should do much better than the brass gears in the basic slammers. Now the Slammer 4 DX has stainless steel gears and a improved rotor. However, the authority appears to be a significantly better design. That Shimano Stella looks beautiful! But pricey….take care and good luck!
@@CastFromTheHip I'm wondering if the drag cap mushroomed on his slammer. It seems the drag cap on the penn is some type of metal from your video which would help prevent this from happening. The Saragosa's has an issue with the past and they changed the underside of the knob to aluminum.
If your drag stutters its usually from water intrusion leading to swelling on one part of the washer creating an uneven surface. Take it apart, clean and regrease the washers. Any roughness in the gear train would be from cranking against too much pressure and even Stellas will get rough. The SS gear of the Authority will be tougher, but every spinning reel is subject to flexing if you try to force it against too much pressure. Its part of fishing for BIG fish with spinning gear. Better technique helps.
The Dura drag is a good system but it has it's limitations just like anything else. The 8500 has a max of 50lbs of drag but catching Bluefin over 200 lbs could be overkill for that size reel especially since you're really working that reel at that drag pressure. The Saltiga, Stella and Makaira is more designed for the kind of fishing your doing.

*dies*... No I"M SURE ITS WORTH IT!? I'll keep watching...
Any line lash or knots with the Penn authority? Definitely having that problem with my 5500
My line lay is nothing close to yours , have a slight hour glass look . Was getting a lot of knots until I took out the bigger shim it came with on the reel . Been racking my brain for days trying to get a line lay straight up and down like you have on yours.
good video man, if u started ur channel 10 years ago you would have a ton of subscribers, but right now everyone is struggling to grow. I have never touched Penn but from your videos I am familiar with Penn designs inside, and the other day I found I chinese reel where the chinese actually stole the design from Penn, not from Daiwa or Shimano. It was kind of refreshing to see the Chinese steal from someone else.
Thanks boss, appreciate you leaving a comment. Timing is everything, but Im having a blast and humbled anyone actually watches my vids. Haha I’d love to visit china and see how many pirated designs are running around. You could probably get knock-off Stellas and Slammers for $100. Shimano products are amazing, I’m going to throw a few Shimano’s in the mix. I’ve never touched Daiwa, but they look great. Honestly…there are just too many options. Good problem to have.
Congratulations to the PENN product development team. The Authority series won "Best new saltwater spinning reel" at the EFTTEX Show [European fishing tackle show].
Hate to tell you bud, but the Wave Spin reel had a bearing in the crosswind gear when it first came out back in '07
Thanks for stopping by and good to know!
Being how it’s fully sealed it has ipx8 rating and it’s made in china, as well costs $500-$600. Is it worth getting it versus the The other Japanese equivalent reels (twin power, certate)?
Don’t think you can go wrong with Shimano or Daiwa. The penn authority definitely competes with specs and they use a lot of metal making them heavier. They’re tanks and should go the distance. The Japanese offerings should be lighter and the tech seems more sophisticated. I’m definitely biased towards penn because I grew up with them so take this all with a grain of salt.
Different reels for different purposes really. More and better sealing on the penn. I'd you're not getting you're not getting salt water or sand on your reel and you're throwing a lot of lures then a lighter less sealed reel would be a better choice.
how would u compare this reel to the new Stella FK?
There is no comparison. The Stella fk 5000 is $829 and used for a different kind of fishing and the Authority 8500 is $500 and is more designed for bigger game fish.
👌👌👌

I do not need all the seals i have never dropped my reels or put them near the saltwater that is just asking for trouble anyway i have known this since i had my first reel at the age of 14 .
After watching quite a few videos it really doesn't seem all that much better over the new slammer. I don't like the way they removed the 'S block' guide/support either and the price exacerbates that. I wouldn't buy it even If I had the money.
I agree rather have a Japan made twin power for around the same price
Nothing to say
Penn charging $500 for something Shimano has had in a $300 saragosa 🤨
Gearing is not even close, half the Saragossa is plastic, including the rotor.
The Saragossa does not have a stainless steel main gear.
A brass gear is a great one but it's not just what it's made of but how it's made that counts. Daiwa makes zinc gears on their BG reels but they made large which gives it that durability. I know about it because because most of my reels are Daiwa and Penn.
@@eves08109 I’ve had my gosa since 2015 and never had one issue. My slammer 3 and 4 completely toast after one season
Yes I agree! The Saltist is just a better sealed BG but it's the same reel. You can't go wrong with Shimano either, they make good reels. It really boils down to personal preference when it comes to reels.
